What is Lifestyle Medicine?
According to the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, lifestyle medicine is a medical specialty that uses therapeutic lifestyle interventions as a primary modality to treat chronic conditions including, but not limited to, cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and obesity.
Below are the six pillars of Lifestyle Medicine:
-
Nutrition: The evidence supports the use of a whole food, plant-predominant diet to prevent, treat and reverse chronic illness.
-
Physical Activity: Regular, consistent physical activity is an important part of overall health and resiliency.
-
Stress Management: Managing negative stress can lessen anxiety, depression and immune dysfunction and leads to improved well-being.
-
Restorative Sleep: Improving sleep quality can improve attention span, mood, insulin resistance and can reduce hunger, sluggishness and more.
-
Social Connection: Positive social connections have beneficial effects on physical, mental and emotional health.
-
Avoidance of Risky Substances: Use of tobacco and excessive alcohol consumption have been shown to increase risk of chronic diseases and death.
